Title: Synthesis of Au–CdS@CdSe Hybrid Nanoparticles with a Highly Reactive Gold Domain
Abstract: We propose a novel route to synthesize semiconductor-gold hybrid nanoparticles directly in water, resulting in much larger gold domains than previous protocols (up to 50 nm) with very reactive surfaces which allow further functionalization. This method advances the possibility of self-assembly into complex structures with catalytic activity toward the reduction of nitro compounds by hydrides. The large size of these gold domains in hybrid particles supports efficient light scattering at the plasmon resonance frequency, making such structures attractive for single-particle studies.
